To find the value of \(-\sqrt{5}\) rounded to the nearest hundredth, we first need to calculate \(\sqrt{5}\).
The approximate value of \(\sqrt{5}\) is about \(2.236\). Therefore,
\[
-\sqrt{5} \approx -2.236.
\]
Now, rounding \(-2.236\) to the nearest hundredth, we look at the third digit after the decimal point, which is \(6\). Since \(6\) is greater than \(5\), we round up.
So, \(-2.236\) rounded to the nearest hundredth is \(-2.24\).
Thus, the answer is \(-2.24\).
The approximate value of \(\sqrt{5}\) is about \(2.236\). Therefore,
\[
